Scorzonera Wrapped in Crisp Prosciutto

Roasted scorzonera is an unexpected and delightful variation on asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. As an elegant do-ahead, it doesn’t get much easier. The scorzonera can be roasted ahead, cooled until it can be handled, wrapped with prosciutto, and set aside for an hour or more before crisping the prosciutto in the oven and serving. Another option is to roast the scorzonera a day in advance and then wrap the logs and crisp the prosciutto just before serving.
